Internet Broadcasting, a provider of digital publishing technology and services for local TV newsrooms, today introduced ibPublish 2, which it calls “the most advanced digital content management and publishing platform built for the TV broadcast industry and designed for the future of digital publishing.”

ibPublish 2 is a cloud-based architected solution that lets newsrooms produce news and information with fast distribution to mobile and social media channels.

The platform is already in production with Internet Broadcasting clients, who are being supported with services including planning, migration, training, best practices and custom development.

“Television broadcasters are seeking to leverage the investments and talents they devote to content development in new ways — so they can further strengthen their brand and engage their audiences,” said Elmer Baldwin, president-CEO of Internet Broadcasting. “ibPublish 2 responds by automating the publication process and supporting simultaneous publishing across mobile devices. That frees broadcasters to focus on their core competence — developing great local-news content — and helps make digital journalism profitable.”

The ibPublish 2 platform offers these features:

  • Dramatic simplification of digital publishing: Accelerates time to publish with high-powered tools for super users and simplified workflows for other contributors, enabling the entire organization to publish digital content.
Sponsored Content
  • Superior user experience improves audience engagement: High-performing, fast-loading pages deliver exceptional user experience, while dynamic and contextual publishing capabilities extend engagement.
  • Genuinely integrated mobile and social: Fully integrated apps and mobile Web sites offers seamless multi-channel publishing, on-the-fly content and display changes, campaign management and social enabled by a robust suite of APIs.
  • Adaptive platform provides full spectrum of control: Publishers have complete control with fully customizable digital solutions and the ability to add new products — all enabled by the cloud-based platform.

ibPublish 2 incorporates software and services from technology partners, including  CoreMedia, a provider of Web content management (WCM) software; Kaltura, a video platform, providing video management, publishing, authoring, distribution and monetization solutions for media companies, enterprises, educational institutions and service providers; and Akamai, a cloud-based platform designed to help provide secure, high-performing user experiences on any device.

In addition, ibPublish 2 supports other technology and service partners in order to provide additional functionality and content such as national news, sports and weather.

“We have integrated technologies that form a development community aligned in the best interests of Internet Broadcasting clients and the market we serve,” Baldwin added. “This community reflects the efforts of hundreds of talented developers and engineers and is supported by a company that has been servicing TV broadcasters’ needs for more than 15 years.”

“Local publishers have arguably the most complex set of needs of any digital publisher,” said Roger Keating, SVP, digital media, for Hearst Television and an Internet Broadcasting director. “Given the volume of content, the number of iterations, and the very distributed nature of what we're publishing, we demand a lot from a publishing system — and the tasks for which we are looking to a digital publishing platform to support us have grown in complexity.

“Internet Broadcasting has taken on the challenge of fully retooling their publishing platform to meet our needs — not just for this year, but for the next decade.”

    NBC’s new sitcom Save Me, starring Anne Heche as alcoholic housewife who begins receiving what she thinks are messages from God after a near-death experience, seems to be striving for the pungency of cable satires like HBO’s Enlightened and Showtime’s Weeds. But its premise often makes it feel like something out of the era of situation-heavy sitcoms like Bewitched.

    Motive, a Canadian crime drama beginning on ABC, reveals early the who did what to whom; it’s the why that’s held for the climax. It’s reasonably smart, reasonably interesting and reasonably well acted without being particularly good. You might enjoy it as a low-key alternative to hyped-up American cop shows, or it might strike you as a mingy and borderline dull reworking of cop-show formulas. Either way, it’s likely to stick around: a second season has been ordered in Canada, and the price point for ABC is probably pretty low.

    PBS's four-part Constitution USA With Peter Sagal rides along with the humorous host of NPR's popular Wait, Wait . . . Don't Tell Me! quiz show as he traverses the nation in a too-cheeky-by-half attempt to find and narrate evidence of the U.S. Constitution in glorious action. This mostly means Sagal interviews legal experts, historians and even the people who advocate those low-flow toilets that drive libertarians ape. He also hangs out with gun proponents, medical marijuana sellers and the like, while trying to look casual. Some may find Constitution USA is a fascinating and informative romp, chuckling right along with Sagal. I found myself feeling a tad sorry for his interview subjects, who seem to have been coached and goaded into matching his repartee.

    Here's a man who's accomplished the seemingly impossible — making Lewis Black seem upbeat and Larry David positively cheery. He's Marc Maron, real-life host of the podcast WTF with Marc Maron and star sour ball of IFC's darkly amusing new Maron which the network describes as a "fictionalized version of Marc's life." Probably not that fictionalized, though. Maron will probably never be wildly famous, which likely wouldn't please him anyway, but Maron should put him more firmly on the map as a seriously funny guy who takes in stray cats but swears off dogs because they're "too needy." Take it from him, "If there's gonna be somebody crying and panting in my house, it's gonna be me." Meow to all that.

    Why, on so many levels; why? It seems tragic that, given the number of comedy writers out there, ABC didn't come up with a stronger vehicle than Family Tools. The show is just another set of prefab sitcom tropes pasted together with cheap jokes. The ensemble, led by Leah Remini and J.K. Simmons, has as much chemistry as an organic farm.
